ADDINXJTON, I Christchurch, June 2G. } At Addington live stock market there I were again good entries of stock, the largest yardings being in the fat sheep section, in which there were full pens There was a fairly large attendance. Store sheep showed an advance in prices, as did fat lambs, the latter improving fid to Is per head. Fat sheep were firmer, and there was little change in beef, the primest quality, if anything, being a shade firmer. Store Sheep.—Fair to good wethers made lfis 9d to 17s 9d; halfbreds, in medium condition, 15s 3d. A line of exceptionally fine four-year-old ewes made 119s Gd; six and eig'ht-toot'h sorts, in rather indifferent condition, 10s sd; i small two and four-tooth sorts, 15s 8d; merinos made 4s 3d; forward and wellI grown lambs made 12s 9d to 13s Gd; one pen of .exceptionally good lambs realising 14s 2d; small to medium sorts, 10s to lis 6d; ewe lambs, 14s 4d. ■ Fat Lambs.—There was very keen competition among the export buyers, and prices were firmer by fully Gd to 9d per head, prime lots showing the most appreciation in value. Tegs made 17s to 20s; extra, to 245; ordinary weights, 14s to ICs Cd; light and unfinished, 12s to 13s 9d.

Fat Sheep.—Extra prime wethers, to 37s (id; prime, 10s to 225; others, 15s (id to 18s Gd; extra prime ewes, to 20s (id; prime, 15s to 20s; others, 10s to 14s (id; merino ewes, 12s Id to 12s'2d. Fat Cattle.—Steers made £7 15s to £lO 10s; extra, to £l3 17s (id; heifers, £5 17s Od to £!) as; cows, £5 10s to £lO ss. Store Cattle—Fifteen to 18-months sorts made £2 4s to £3 13s; two-year steers, £4 12s (id; two-year heifers, £3 17s Od; three-year heifers, £4 7s Od; dry cows, 30s'to £4 10s. The entry of dairy cows was a fairly large one, and, unlike several recent sales, the quality was uniformly good, with of course a few exceptions. Competition throughout was good, a num- ' ber of cows making £lO and upwards. The general range of prices was £5 to j£ll'los. I Pigs.—Choppers made 70s to ll(is; Iheavy baconers, (iOs to 70s; lighter sorts, 148s to 55s (equal to 5d per lb). The [best porkers made 42s to 475, and lighter sorts, 35s to 40s (equal to s'/id per lb). There was a fair yarding of store pigs, but in some classes, notably in sows and small sorts, the supply was too small for requirements. No large stores came forward. Medium sorts realised 22s to 31s; small sorts, 16s to 20s; weaners, which were in good demand, made 12s Od to 15s. BURNSIDE. Dunedin, June 2(i.
